GMO Cookies — Week 8 From Seed (≈ Week 3 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) “Served with extra curiosity.” 🌱 Quick Recap (For Everyone Joining Now) These girls have been running 12/12 from seed from day one. No traditional vegetative phase. They decided their timing — we followed. This is not about chasing more harvests per year. It’s about efficiency, energy management, and less unnecessary labor. We are now at Week 8 from seed, which we consider early–mid flower transition (Week 3 flowering) based on pistil development and stacking behavior. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The room is looking strong and stable. • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing) • PPFD: 800–1300 µmol/m²/s (varies per plant height) • Airflow: Heavy exchange + vortex + crosswinds Now let’s explain the why. We are prioritizing leaf VPD, not just room VPD. Because of strong airflow and active transpiration, we can run slightly higher humidity at this stage without creating microclimate issues. Big intake. Big exhaust. Vortex movement. Crosswind fans breaking boundary layers. This allows us to push intensity safely. And intensity is where the fun begins. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are not just running a top light. We are using: • Over-canopy lighting • Inner canopy lighting • Under-canopy lighting Why? Because photosynthesis doesn’t only happen at the top cola. Lower sites can remain productive if light penetrates and airflow supports them. Benefits: • More uniform energy distribution • Reduced larf • Better lower bud development • Higher nutrient demand (which we are seeing) This multi-angle light system is part of why we can push EC while still seeing substrate EC remain low. ⸻ Feeding & EC Strategy Current Irrigation EC: ~2.4 Substrate EC reading: ~0.9 That tells us something important: The girls are eating. When runoff/substrate EC remains low despite high input EC, it means uptake is strong and salts are not accumulating. The moment we see substrate EC climbing? We reduce feed EC immediately. End goal: Final week or so → likely water only. ⸻ Current Nutrient Recipe • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal (No more Vita Race foliar for now.) ⸻ 🔬 Why We Switched Additives We moved from Power Roots → Power Buds + Green Sensation Power Buds • Encourages flower initiation • Supports generative growth • Helps hormonal shift into flowering mode Green Sensation • PK booster • Adds Magnesium & Iron • Supports enzyme systems & chlorophyll stability • Assists in energy transport during early bulking phase We are now in the stage where roots are established — focus shifts to flowers and energy management. ⸻ ⚗️ Order of Mixing (Chemistry Matters) This is important. 1. CalMag first Our water is very soft. We raise EC to ~0.7 using CalMag before adding anything else. Why? • Calcium stabilizes solution chemistry. • Prevents nutrient lockout. • Reduces risk of precipitation when adding PK later. • Supports cell wall strength during high transpiration. 2. Base nutrients (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives (Power Buds, Green Sensation, Pure Zym, Sugar Royal) Mixing order affects solubility and stability. This is not random. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Defoliation was done recently. Result? It looks like nothing happened. The canopy refilled quickly. Structure is strong. Stretch is controlled but active. Stacking is beginning. They are bigger than expected at this stage, to be honest. This is where things get interesting. ⸻ 🔬 Macro Season Begins We are entering the phase where microphotography becomes meaningful. Yes, it’s always interesting. But now: • Trichome stalks are forming. • Resin heads are developing. • Pistil clusters are stacking. • Leaf surface gland density increases. From this week forward, macro and focus stacking will become part of the reports. Not for hype. For documentation. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week • Continued stacking • Slight humidity reduction • Possible EC adjustment depending on substrate readings • Increased resin production • Internodal swelling No drastic changes planned — just observation and precision. ⸻ 🤝 Appreciation Section Thank you to: • The long-time followers • The OGs • The critics • The silent readers • The new growers joining • The Grow Diaries platform • The sponsors • And everyone watching quietly This doesn’t happen because I’m alone in the garden.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hey growers, another week finished. Plants got much bigger and buds are growing nicely. Smells starts to be fruity and plants are looking beautiful. Cheers!

Heeeey all! Sorry for the extremely slow update! The past few weeks have been crazy for me! 😱 This week I made a lot of defoliation and decided to be somewhat greedy. I'll let the plants grow a bit more so they'll stretch well during flower! So while I defoliate I'll allow the plants to recover properly! 💪 Near the end of the week I also made another mistake with Roko (poor baby! 😭). I broke another of the stems (the one that divided the plant in two, right in the middle) and I feared the worst! But so far the plant kept growing without any problems. I'm still thinking a name for my 4th baby, she has surprised me greatly and I didn't notice how many new branches had grown until I defoliated her and I'm sure she'll deliver some great buds! 😍 Anyway everyone, this is all for now. Thanks for reading this journal and soon I'll update the next week! 😃

Back soon. ********************************************

Both girls are healthy and going strong, a little cal/mag deficiency on auto#1 but other than that all is good. Auto #2 has turned out bigger than auto#1 but auto #1 is definitely more purple. This is the 10th time I've grown purple lemonade and not been disappointed, definitely my favourite strain atm. Thanks for reading, feel free to check out my other diaries and leave me a like. Stay high, stay fly. #420everyday.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres Cette plante a vraiment une bonne odeur de skunk et franchement elle sent très fort Les têtes sont tellement lourdes que j'ai du attacher les branches avec une corde et mettre un gros tuteur pour maintenir le tout Les trichomes commencent à devenir laiteux je commencerais le rinçage la semaine prochaine en attendant j'arrose toujours quand le pot est léger avec 2 litres d'eau ph6.3 à laquelle j'ajoute 5 millilitres de Hesi bloom 2.5 millilitres de Hesi phosphorus 2 millilitres de Hesi boost et la dose recommandée de supervit

Just fattening and stacking this week! ❤️ the colours are popping, the tricomes are carpeted, these ladies are just beautiful 😍 I’ve been keeping the airflow high, it’s been hot and humid here, making sure these beauties don’t develop any issues in the last few weeks. No signs of pests, or PM, I did a small defoliation to help increase the airflow, as well as unblock some sites for that last push at growth. Can’t wait for these to be wrapped up, some of the best development I’ve seen with my homegrown yet!

What up fam, weekly update on these ladies. So far they've dealt with the heat like champs. Thankfully I got my AC fixed and it's back up and running. So thank God as we're having a heat wave still with day temps in the high 90's. They're getting fed 16oz of fed daily. It's looking like maybe another week or two before they'll get harvested. All in all Happy Growing.

En breve a flora

Hi liebe Community und Willkommen zurück im Sensi Seeds Wettbewerb! 💚 Chocolate Rainbow 🍫🌈 Nach der achten Wachstumswoche insgesamt ist nun die erste Blütewoche auch schon vorbei. 🌱(Wachstumstag 61 | 🌷Blüte Tag 7) Da das Höhenwachstum bei diesem Strain generell moderat war, gehe ich auch von einem eher geringeren Stretch aus. In der ersten Blütewoche hat die Pflzzear 10cm zugelegt, dafür vermute ich dass der Stretch auch schnell wieder abklingen wird. Sie ist sehr schön Breit gefächert und dass auch mit super ausgeglichenen Höhenabständen. Die Höhe liegt nun insgesamt bei knapp 69cm. Ihr Höhenwachstum gefällt mir sehr, da sie nicht in die Höhe schießt. Ich habe nun mit dem Lollipoping begonnen und auch nochmal ein paar Sonnensegel entfernt, damit die inneren Triebe besser beleuchtet werden. Alles ist nun auf Blüte getrimmt, daher kam diese Woche einmalig bis Blütewoche 4 10ml PK-Boister von Biotabs auf ein Liter Gießwasser. Die Lichtintensität habe ich nun auf 630mqm hochgefahren. Die Bedingungen im Growschrank sind für die angehende Blütephase top! Die Videos findet ihr nun auch bei Insta und YouTube! ________________________ 🌡️ Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💧 RH: 64% 🌬️ VPD: 1,17 kPa ☀️ ppfd: 630 mpm ________________________ Grüne Grüße 💚🌱

Y’all have an amazing productive day and let’s grind the rest of this week out and have an amazing weekend! Peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Ya casi llegando a su fin solo agua hasta su corte

Como estamos , aquí seguimos de confinamiento pero entre buenos humos y hoy toca actualizar las farm cheese de genofarm, A estas alturas e de decir que ya entramos en la recta final y estoy completamente satisfecho con esta variedad. Crecimiento rápido floración mucho más rápida cogollos compactos y llenos de resina, eso que hablo de que quedan varias semanas entre lavados y demás pero muy bien. Sigo controlando ph 6.2 humedad 50% y temperatura en 26.5 . Y estos resultados gracias al ts600 de mars hydro. Esta semana Añadi overdrive importante al final de una floración, para conseguir mejores resultados, nos vemos la semana que viene, buenos humos fumetillas.

Only running 1 Thin Mint x Cookies + Cream its front left in the tent, great internodal spacing came highly recommended. Switching to Bloom nutrients, two part Cropsalt. Irrigation frequency will be adjusted as flower development drastically increases over the next two weeks.

She's a healthy lady. No issues this week. I did switch up the lighting this week.

Monstrous growth, preflower stage now. All going well, responding well to LST and bio buzz nutrients
